CARL ROBERT lVEIDMLLER, OF CHEMNITZ, GERMANY.

BUTTON FOR GLOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 632,606, datedSeptember 5, 1899.

Application filed March 26, 1898.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL ROBERT IVEID- MLLER, a subject of the Emperorof Germany, residing at Chemnitz, Germany, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Buttons for Gloves, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to stud members for buttons for gloves or similararticles.

The invention comprises a member having two parts, one carrying alocking spring-stud and having a base-flange adapted to engage the underside of the glove or fabric and the other part consisting of an eyelethaving an upper flange to engage the upper side of the fabric and alower portion adapted to intel lock with the base-flange of the studportion.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-Figure l is a vertical sectional View of the stud part detached. Fig. lis a plan view of the stud part. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of theeyelet part. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the complete button.

The lower member of the button is constructed of two parts,between whichthe fahric is clamped. The lower part carries the stud A, which extendsupwardly from a base a, which presses against the under face of thefabric to which the member is attached. This base has its edgeoverturned to receive beneath the same the lower flange of the eyelet B,which ts down over said stud. The eyelet has an upper flange b, thatpresses against the upper face of the fabric, thus clamping Serial No.675,280. (No model.)

the latter between the flanges ab. The stud Alias a slit S extendingacross the head thereof and down the sides of the same to a point belowthe upper edge of the eyelet. Byhaving this slit of the maximum lengththe elasticity of the stud is increased.

' I claimv l. A stud member for buttons comprising a stud A having itsengaging portion above the plane of the upper surface of the eyelethaving an annular flange c, with its edge turned over itself and aneyelet B having upper and lower iianges to grip the fabric, said eyelethaving its lower ilange held in the turned-over edge of the stud-llangea and said stud having a slit s extending down below the plane of theupper surface of the eye'- let, substantially as described.

2. A stud member for buttons composed of two parts only, a stud portionhaving an upturned base-flange adapted to press against the lower sideof the fabric and to engage the second part and the eyelet pressed intosaid upturned ring and having a flange pressing against the upper sideof the fabric and a slot in said stud extending below the upper sur faceof the flange of the eyelet, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twowitnesses.

C. ROBERT l/VEIDMULLER.
